Denzel Washington is one of Hollywood's hottest leading actor as well as a man, who has shown his class from 'Training Day' to 'Courage under fire'.
He has remarkably brought out the true colors of every personality or character that he has played till date whether it is in a socially conscious
drama, a thriller or a comedy. Washington was born in Mount Vernon, New York on December 28, 1954 and his parents have shaped his early ambition
to enter the show business. He inherited the power of performance from his minister father.After his parents divorced, Washington attended Fordham University and graduated with B.A. in Journalism in 1977. After graduation, he went to San Francisco, and won a scholarship to the American Conservatory Theatre. This is when he began acting in various television movies and his film debut came in 1981 with 'Carbon Copy'.
He has always been compared to Sidney Poitier for his ability to enthrall a multiracial audience, and played the role of Dr. Phillip Chandler, an insecure young resident, on the popular medical drama 'St. Elsewhere'. After 'Carbon Copy' in 1981, Washington reprised his stage role in Norman Jewison's film 'A Soldier's Story' in 1984. After a gap of two years, he came with Sidney Lumet's 'Power' (1986), and in 1987 with 'Cry Freedom,' he got his first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. In the following year, Washington starred as the feature lead in the British thriller 'For Queen and Country'. In 1989, he delivered an Oscar-winning supporting portrayal defiant slave turned soldier in 'Glory'. His 1991 film 'Ricochet' failed to appeal to the critics as well as the audience and followed it with 'Mississippi Masala' in 1992. He teamed up with Lee and shot for 'Malcolm X' in 1992 and gave a Oscar-nominated lead performance. From the role of an activist, he shifted to Shakespeare and took the role of Don Pedro in Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of 'Much Ado About Nothing'. Next in line was 'The Pelican Brief' opposite Julia Roberts and in 1993 came in the box office hit called 'Philadelphia' with Tom Hanks. In 1995, Washington starred opposite veteran Gene Hackman in 'Crimson Tide' followed by 'Virtuosity'. He silenced his critics with a strong performance 'Courage Under Fire' (1996), and followed it with singer-turned-actress Whitney Houston in 'The Preacher's Wife' (1996).

Denzel Washington can also phone me on 00 + 263 + 91 + 2 382 099 if he or his agent can. i find this as the best way Africans in the diaspora such as Denzel Washington and Africans on the continent such as me can synergise and cooperate to make the difference in our communities and the global village as a whole. i would be therefore grateful if i could be responded to. thank you. Claude Maredza Posted by Claude Maredza (2010-03-02) 2278 Acturally, I don't know what to say because you're one of my favorite actors and I built my acting around your craft. I have followed you from The Preacher's Wife to the Book of Eli. I have spent the last 4 years of my life trying to get cast in major films and will continue my journey to success. I'm going to keep it short. I would just like to say it's an honor to email you and hope one day I earn my chance. I hope you read this.

I know that you get a lot of emails asking you a lot of questions but I just have one for you. It is a general question and it is how do I really break into the business? Should I move to Hollywood, try out for local auditions are just go for a huge movie role because I have the talent to do it? That is all Mr.Washington. V/R, LSSN (AW/SW) Beasley Posted by Brandon Beasley (2010-05-28) 2414 Dear Mr. Denzel Washington,
Last month my husband and I were able to see the broadway play "Fences". We truly enjoyed it; we sat a few seats to the right of Oprah and Gail (front and center); Debbie Allen was there also. I had prepared a letter to give you but didn't have the nerve to do it. My 15 month old son was murdered on on a military base (GITMO). There were a lot of coverups, etc. that took place. People always tell us that we should see if someone could make a movie about our lives. I thought that you could play my husband and V. Foxx could play me. Just a thought:) Niecy Posted by Niecy (2010-06-19) 2457 Hy Denzel my name is Norman Siler and i love acting i was wondering if u can help me become an actor and be my mentor on what to do and how to do please email me I love learning from an experienced person like yourself Posted by Norman Siler (2010-06-21) 2459 Dear Mr. Washington,
I have a very good friend who lost his son (a Marine) over in Iraq after being there only 3 weeks. My friend has been involved with the Vermont Fallen Heroes since he lost Chris. They are building a Memorial: recognizing all veterans of the Global War on Terror, since 9/11, that have served, will serve, those that have fallen, and all their families from Vermont. They have broken ground (Memorial Day) and plan on the Grand Unveiling on Veterans Day, November 11th. I was hoping (if at all possible) that you might be able to be there for the unveiling? It would mean a lot to Ray (my friend) and all the other family members who have lost a loved one. Thank you for your time.
